Rasilient: Optimized Storage for No-Frame-Drop Video Surveillance

When it comes to video surveillance, the quality of the video is something that has lost the due significance that it deserves. As acceptable as it could have been 30 years back, during the era of CCTV camera-based video surveillance, the same wouldn’t fit the bill today. With the ever-increasing demands of organizations that have made analog video systems obsolete, replacing it with IP-based networking paradigms, the need to capture higher quality of video has regained its importance. However, even with digital technology at its most advanced stages of maturity, accounting for quality and catering to the subsequent storage requirements have been barriers to maintaining security standards. Founded in 2001, Rasilient is a company that provides a ‘No Frame Drop’ solution optimizing video surveillance storage. “Typical IT data storage is not ideally suited for video surveillance. Our servers and storage are architected with the sole purpose of capturing video providing a high-performance, efficient surveillance solution,” says Sean Chang, CEO of Rasilient.

The primary problem is that video is only recorded and not monitored 24X7 which leads to security mishaps. The amount of time and cost required to store data captured from cameras that function round the clock is another challenge that organizations face. In a mission-critical scenario, it is imperative that there are no video gaps, and in order to ensure that video streaming is buffer-free without losing important data, enterprises need a forensic-grade technology that guarantees a foolproof and secure network and enhances their level of security. Rasilient has spent years developing patented technologies designed to deliver the most comprehensive and robust video surveillance solutions. One of the most important features of Rasilient’s solutions is a commitment to achieving No Frame Drop (NFD) which eliminates recording gaps and protects mission critical video.

In case of any system failures, the inbuilt “self-healing technology” works efficiently to avoid any data loss and prevent downtime.
